Kids' Acrylic Colour-in Canvas Art (4-7 Years)
Nikki was very friendly and welcoming from the outset. We were lucky enough to be the only ones at the workshop so we were able to have her undivided attention. She talked to and asked questions to my daughter offering suggestions on how she could colour the canvas. We also had many conversations about our shared love of crafting. The items were beautifully presented as if they were a gift andNikki was very friendly and welcoming from the outset. We were lucky enough to be the only ones at the workshop so we were able to have her undivided attention. She talked to and asked questions to my daughter offering suggestions on how she could colour the canvas. We also had many conversations about our shared love of crafting. The items were beautifully presented as if they were a gift and included a photo box, a canvas to colour in, paint brushes, little pots of acrylic paint, a well pallete and a mixed media paper pad. The value of these items exceded the cost of the workshop and my daughter was delighted she got to take them home with her. During the workshop my daughter decided that she would colour in the canvas using the felt tips provided by the store. She was very happy to be chatting as she coloured in. In one of her conversations she mentioned to Nikki that she read Rainbow Magic books and Nikki drew her an illustration of a fairy for her to take home and colour. I would thoroughly recommend attending a workshop at the Newbury store as everyone was really friendly and it was a perfect way to spend an hour with my daughter doing an activity she loves. Will definitely be attending more. + more

Tea Tasting for Mindfulness at Home
Erica was our wonderful guide through the world of tea and creating mindful moments and rituals to go alongside the different teas. I'd highly recommend buying the tea box to go alongside the class as you get to try some really unusual and delicious teas and shown how to brew them in different ways to get the best out of them.

Cathy Holland • Mar 2021
Really enjoyed my class which was a present from my daughter. Couldn’t open the emailed link via my laptop so had to use my iPhone which wasn’t ideal but loved the session. Could easily have been a 3-4 hour class. As a complete beginner it certainly whetted my appetite to start painting. Very engaging tutor. Left abruptly at end as my phone ran out of charge but Thank you very much x
Sophie Norden • Feb 2021
Lovely gift from my colleagues. Enjoyed adding a few extra shells and succulents from my stash too.

Cocktails at Home: Who's for a Pornstar Martini?
Really enjoyed the interaction with the barman and others that took part. The box of goodies was well presented. This was a 60th birthday present and I will definitely booking another one. Well done

Make Chocolate Truffles at Home

Make DIY Beeswax Wraps at Home
A really lovely teacher and a quick and enjoyable class. Making your own beeswax cloths is more satisfying and cheaper than buying them, they make great presents and they help to reduce the use of plastic/cling film. All the details and kit I needed arrived in good time. It was a great birthday present from my son and daughter.
Zanya Fechner • Mar 2021
Really loved this class - it made a great mother's day present and would definitely do it again :)

Mix These Modern Cocktails at Home
The class was fantastic. Tom was brilliant. This was a present for my partners birthday, it was so much fun. I highly recommend!
Anonymized Customer • Feb 2021
Yesterday I had a Mixology at Home class with Dan Sammons, which was a present from my wife. As I’m a reasonably competent cocktail maker, I wasn’t sure how I’d find it. However, it was absolutely superb Dan put his heart and soul into the session, not only introducing me to some new cocktails, but showing me ways of enhancing cocktails I was already familiar with. He’s an extremely nice person, with an extensive knowledge of mixology and cocktail making. But more than that, he was really passionate about making it a good session.

I believe he offers classes at beginner, intermediate and expert levels. + more
Why experience vouchers make the best gift ideas
When it comes to finding the perfect birthday present for a very special person, it can be difficult. That’s why we’ve made it our mission to make giving thoughtful, meaningful gifts for him and her easy and fun. With our gift experience vouchers, you’ll be able to give the lucky birthday boy or girl a wide choice of unique in-person workshops, virtual experiences, and DIY kits. So, instead of worrying whether they’ll like it or not, you can focus on the good stuff - putting a smile on their face on their special day. Wherever they are in the UK, they’ll have access to DIY crafts classes, cooking classes online and even disco yoga classes from local teachers and artisans. Now that’s a special birthday gift! So, whether you think they’ll enjoy getting creative with a paint and sip kit or crafty with a soap making class or even mixing things up with some cocktail making at home - they’ll love receiving the opportunity to choose a unique experience to unwind, de-stress and experiment with a new hobby. This is why we think our gift experience vouchers make for thoughtful and unique gifts. Gift them the chance to try something new, explore a new hobby and get creative - something even more exciting than a material object.
Unique birthday gifts
If you’re looking for unique birthday present ideas, we have plenty of wonderful options to spark your imagination. If you’re on the hunt for birthday experience gifts for him, we have lots of unique gifts to explore. If he’s a foodie with a love for the outdoors, why not try a BBQ cooking class online? If he’s an amateur artist who lacks the tools, why not treat him to an art kit, or if he’s a laid-back artiste who enjoys a glass of wine, a sip and paint kit?
When it comes to birthday experiences for her, we’ve got you covered there too! For a lady who needs a little calm and stillness in her life, our meditation courses online (from tai chi, online yoga classes to mindfulness courses that involve sipping on tea) are the perfect gift for her. For the woman who likes her DIY projects, why not treat her to some invigorating DIY home decor crafting, such as a pottery at home class, or a spot of jewellery making?
Our birthday gift experiences are made with uniqueness in mind so when it comes to finding gifts for him and her that are different and unlike anything they’ve ever received before, we've got you covered! Why not treat your special someone to a new and exciting experience this year?
Unforgettable birthday present ideas
If you want to give your favourite person a birthday present that is truly unforgettable, we say swap the material gifts for experience gifts! Whether they’re creating memories by cooking up a storm with a cooking class online led by an expert chef or by learning how to make soap with an artisan organic soap maker - with an experience as a gift, they’ll make lasting memories that will warm their hearts for years to come. Not only that but by giving a birthday gift experience, you could be giving them the gift of a new skill, passion or hobby - a gift that just keeps on giving. When it comes to unforgettable birthday present ideas, we think our selection of gift experiences has the potential for creating not just lifelong memories but also inspiring a new love of all things creative and crafty.
When it comes to birthday gifts for mum, your gift could help her find her love of flower arranging or ignite her interest in candle making. It could help her to fill those evenings when she’s looking for fun things to do at home, with a hobby she really loves. Our public classes could even help her to meet new friends or a community of like-minded others. When you give an experience as a gift, the possibilities are endless and the memories, unforgettable.
